Although it is unlikely that the main culprits will read this before posting, it is important to note that unauthorized advertising is not permitted on the FaithWriters Message Board. All spam will be removed within hours of posting, and the member account will be deleted (and their IP address banned).

We have a zero tolerance attitude to spam/advertising. Even if the "member" never posts an actual message on the boards, their account will be immediately deleted if it has been obviously created for the sole intention of using this forum for advertising purposes.

Legitimate new members are encouraged to post a message in the Newbie Nook to introduce themselves to the "community" before starting a new thread. We want to get to know you.

Although advertising isn't permitted generally, there is a certain degree of leeway given to long time members who are actively involved in the FaithWriters' community--however, this sort of advertising should still only be of the "Cheering Section" type of announcement (where a new business is being announced), or if special offers are being offered to FaithWriters members.

These rules are purely designed to protect members and to ensure that our message board remains a pleasant and safe environment for all.

Is it possible to change my username? There's another incident that my post had morphed by some hacker once again. And I don't know what to do, This is the third time I change my password, I really need some admin's help to change my username. I have this feeling that this could be used by other person into other forum and the hacker thought it was me. Please I really have to change my username.

So send me an email (using the little envelope icon under my picture) with your choice of user name, and I will make that change.

Love, Deb

Thanks for helping me Miss Deb. Uhm, I'm having trouble with finding the envelope icon. I can't see it anywhere under your picture nor your post. The only thing I could see is the red pencil, the red flag? which is not clickable, the PM button and the small globe icon which kind of linked to your website.Here, this is how it looks.

I think its the red flag-looking thing at the side of the pencil is the envelope but I can't be click...

The problem is mostly new people coming in and just posting links for something they are selling. We make an exception for books published by members in the Cheering Section. Otherwise, there is a way to pay to put advertising on the FW site itself.
